Westbourne College is a highly regarded Registered Training Organisation (RTO#41084) offering a large range of Nationally Recognised Qualifications from Certificate IV to Diploma level training. One of the services that we offer is Recognition of Prior Learning, also known as RPL. Our aim is to help those individuals who have learnt valuable skills on the job receive nationally recognised qualifications that will enhance their position when exposed to potential employers.
\nWhether you are wanting a career change or just simply to grow your skill set, don\u2019t let your years of experience go to waste. At Westbourne, we value a person\u2019s previous work experience and skills learnt on the job. Our team of professionals can help map your experiences and skills against technical units that will assist you in achieving your qualification.<\/p>\n
In order to achieve most qualifications or certificates, a series of units will need to be completed to earn credits. As you analyse a particular course and the units of competency needed to earn your credits, you may notice that your previous work experience satisfies these requirements.
\nWorking alongside our team, you will provide evidence that establishes your level of competency that will ultimately reduce your study-load and fast-track your qualification. The evidence you provide to support your qualification must be current within the last 5 years. Examples of evidence includes references, resumes, qualifications, training courses, workplace documents that you have personally produced, emails etc.
\nOur trainers have first-hand experience with conducting recognition of prior learning assessments as well as a realistic view of how far an RPL will take you in order to help determine whether you are eligible to receive a Full RPL or blended approach of part-study, part-RPL.
\nSo, what is the difference between a Full RPL & Blended Approach?
\nFull RPL<\/p>\n
When it comes to achieving the desired qualifications or certificates, it can take time that you may not be able to fit into your schedule. With a Full RPL approach, you are cutting the time required to become qualified in the respected field of study. Our trainers will request documentation and match these on-the-job, prior learnings to the units required within the course. There is no study time required and you will receive your qualification within a two-week timeframe. By using this full recognition of prior learning approach, you will be able to continue your job while also becoming qualified in the respected field of study which will allow you to grow your skill-set for whatever future endeavours you wish to achieve.<\/p>\n

Using this approach, you will be building a foundation of learning and technical aspects that won\u2019t crack under pressure in an interview or on the job.
